As the rift between the Kerala government and Governor Arif Mohammed Khan continues, the government has sanctioned a new Mercedes-Benz car for the Raj Bhavan.
A government order in this regard was issued by the General Administration (Political) Department on Wednesday.
The purchase of the GLE 300d 4Matic LWB variant will cost the state exchequer Rs 85,18,000. The suggested colour is obsidian black.
The Principal Secretary to the governor had earlier sent a report saying that the present vehicle was more than 10 years old and had clocked over one lakh kilometres.
Hence, the Raj Bhavan had told the government that it was advisable to replace the vehicle. Subsequently, an invoice for the purchase of the new variant was furnished by the Raj Bhavan.
